Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program is offering two holiday meal options this Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Kits for at-home cooking include boxed stuffing, gravy mixes, canned corn and green beans, butternut squash, carrots, potatoes and a $10 grocery gift card. Meal kits are available for pickup at MCHPP’s Food Pantry (12 Tenney Way) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17. They are also available for online ordering at orderahead.org. Call the Food Pantry coordinator at (207) 725-2716 ext. 311 or email dsantora@mchpp.org with any questions.
When filling the kits, MCHPP prioritizes supporting local producers as much as possible. This year, that included the purchasing of 4,800 pounds of carrots from Crystal Spring Farm (Brunswick), 8,000 pounds of butternut squash from Six River Farm (Bowdoinham) and 6,000 pounds of Maine potatoes from Good Shepherd Food Bank.
To-go hot meals will be available Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at MCHPP’s Soup Kitchen. No reservations or registration are required, and all are welcome. The Soup Kitchen coordinator can be reached for questions at 725-2716 ext. 304 or by email at jgoldstein@mchpp.org.
Funding from residents of Highland Green and 600 gift cards provided by the Albertson Companies Foundation made these holiday offerings available.
